Xiangrui Meng commented on SPARK-2308:
--------------------------------------
Is there a reference paper/work about using uniform sampling in k-means?
Usually in practice the clusters are not balanced. With uniform sampling, you
may miss many points from a small cluster.
> Add KMeans MiniBatch clustering algorithm to MLlib

> Key: SPARK-2308
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2308
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: MLlib
> Reporter: RJ Nowling
> Priority: Minor
>
> Mini-batch is a version of KMeans that uses a randomly-sampled subset of the
> data points in each iteration instead of the full set of data points,
> improving performance (and in some cases, accuracy). The mini-batch version
> is compatible with the KMeans|| initialization algorithm currently
> implemented in MLlib.
> I suggest adding KMeans Mini-batch as an alternative.
> I'd like this to be assigned to me.
